  • morning all
    well done on the find megsmum :T that was like being paid to declutter

    hope the two little ones are feeling better after their extractions.

    my decluttering has backfired slightly i mentioned to DH a few weeks ago about the amunt of warhammer stuff we have and eldest DS and him have stopped doing it. so what happens do they decide to sell all their models like heck they do they have now roped younger DS into jioing them and started going to the club again so ive now got little boxes of plastic models and paint all over the place instead of in storage boxes:eek:.

    :(

    Well i can't class the bead from my daughters ear as a decluttered item as they couldnt get it out :-(

    They used huge tweezers on her little ears and really hurt her...then bought out smaller ones but by that time she was hysterical :( Sent her to ear nose and throat clinic and the foriegn doctor there kept telling DF to keep her still...this is impossible as she is quite a big 4 year old. So now she has to go for a pre-op tomorrow and go under anaestetic in march to get it out :(

    All for a flipping bead!!!

    I feel guilty that i couldnt go as our older daughter has been very poorly at home all week with a temp 39.5 with headaches and i don't drive so DF had to take her

    On to a more topical comment......while waiting for DF and DD i managed to finally clean all the shed items for ebay and declutter a total of 25 items from kitchen drawers!

    I hope everyone is having a better day than me x
